Diana Nyad OK through Night 1

HAVANA -- U.S. endurance swimmer Diana Nyad's team says she made it through her first night in the Straits of Florida with almost no sightings of poisonous jellyfish.

A post on Nyad's blog says she's doing well and the crew is upbeat, though she expressed some fatigue during a pause to eat. Doctors examine her regularly and say "she's looking very good."
